curriculums during 1990‘s. Students’ conceptual view of the functionwas defined in [5] that relied on Piaget’s study of functions in 1977 that helped forming action-process-objectidea in mathematics education [15]. In 1996, APOS theory is applied in [1] to mathematical topics (mostlyfunctions) and the theory is explained to be the combined knowledge of a student in a specific subject based onPiaget‘s philosophy. The main idea of APOS theory is to observe conceptual construction of subjects on sub-concepts and schemas and the construction of a specific concept depends on knowledge of other concepts. Forinstance, the differential of a composition function would require the conceptual understanding of functions,composition of functions, domain of a

While AI-based learning showspromise for certain student groups, peer and internet-based reviews also play a vital role infostering engagement and knowledge retention. To this end, students should be wary of entirelyrelying on AI, as backgrounds, learning preferences, and deep analysis may be hurdles instead ofolder, standard approaches. Future research should explore the interactions between thesevariables in greater detail, perhaps using larger datasets and different learning environments.References[1] Ng, D. T. K., Leung, J. K.

Missing or inadequacy of addressing those criticalcomponents may result in negative evaluation by ABET program evaluators (PEV s). Therefore,it is important for any engineering program to adopt a proper capstone model to satisfy ABETprogram assessment requirements.In view of these contexts, this paper discusses the capstone model used by the engineeringprogram at the Southern Arkansas University (SAU).

APO is extended to Action, Process, Object and Schema theory (called APOStheory) in [21] to understand students' function knowledge. APOS theory is explained as thecombined knowledge of a student in a specific subject based on Piaget`s philosophy. APOS theorywas designed in [22] as follows:  An action is a transformation of objects perceived by the individual as essentially external and as requiring, either explicitly or from memory, step-by-step instructions on how to perform the operation...  When an action is repeated and the individual reflects
